THE THREE ME'S

Sometimes I just don't know what to write about.  It seems like each day is just like yesterday or the day before.  I know it isn't so, and each day there is change, sometimes so subtle that any differences are barely or not at all noticeable.  The sun rises and sets each day in slightly altered positions and that is the way of life as well.  Each day is just a little or perhaps a lot...different or unusual than the day or evening or years bygone that are filed under "memory." 

Time is irrelevant as a minute can be like a thousand years or a thousand years can be consumed in just a twinkling.  We are on God's time.  Yesterday is today and today is tomorrow and it doesn't really matter as infinity is.  It just is.  It is God's time and not our own, so live for He who has made us.  We will pass into dust.  "Time" will fade into nothingness, but God was, is, and always will be. 

This day I did a small amt. of shopping for just a few necessities dictated by convention and the norms of society.  I bought garbage bags.  In this culture of The Americas, we can't have our trash, crud and garbage sailing on the wind and collecting in someones yard. Of course, not everyone abides by what is expected in a civilized, homogeneous, diverse species of upright, bipedal humanoids.  Everyone has his free will or spirit and lives accordingly.  Me too.

The human soul or spirit or inner id lives and exists deep within us, yet outside of space or time,  still..in our real, but human reality. And like the Holy Trinity, I think of ourselves as a trinity, but on a lesser level than God.  Strange to say, you may think, yes?  Who can understand the ways and mysteries of the Creator.

Think of yourself as three persons in one, if you can.  There is the "you," the person that I or we...can see, smell, touch, feel, converse with, and conceive as a physical person.  This  is the "you" that is presented  for all the see, relate to and be responded to, in kind: the persona of the "me," the exterior that we all know and love...maybe.  The part of us that we want others to accept and know.

In a sense, this is the false self and under this false self is a layer or second me, that we do not want to share, to see or be seen, but occasionally the "sneaky me" escapes into the glare of the an ugly  cast light.  It is the self that is not all that pretty or enduring and we tend to cover it up whenever we can.

Then there is the inner me, id or the God given spirit.  We don't always see this third person as this is the essence of "Whom" and is a most frequently hidden, an unknown, untapped, mysterious person; the spirit or soul.  Think of the spirit as a third "you" that is deep within and waiting to become all of "you" with consent of the other two of "you."  As with the Holy Trinity, but lesser, there are we, three in one.  "We' of the lesser trinity are  wondrously and glorious fashioned, forged, ready to be molded into the instrument of God, for we are made in His image.

This may be difficult to fathom...as it is what I think and feel.  If you were to sit across a table from me and ask me to verbalize what I have written, I just couldn't do it.  An orator, I am not.  It is a concept in my head and heart that I have put words to, but may not makes sense to anyone that reads this.  I hope I don't come off sounding like a heretic  writing of unsound theology or philosophy for I don't intend to.  I am open to corrections.
